Job Description
We are looking for a sharp, highly organized, and discreet Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to the Chief Executive Officer. This is not a traditional admin role — the right candidate will be a trusted right hand to the CEO, anticipating needs, managing a complex schedule, and ensuring the CEO operates at maximum effectiveness. You will handle sensitive information daily and must exercise sound judgement with minimal supervision.
Key responsibilities:
Calendar & Schedule Management
- Manage the CEO's calendar end-to-end, including scheduling meetings, resolving conflicts, and protecting time for priority work.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel — flights, accommodation, visas, itineraries, and logistics.
- Prepare daily and weekly briefings to keep the CEO informed and on schedule.
Communication & Correspondence
- Screen, prioritize, and respond to emails and calls on behalf of the CEO where appropriate.
- Draft correspondence, presentations, reports, and internal communications to a high standard.
- Serve as a professional first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.
Meeting & Event Coordination
- Organize and prepare for board meetings, executive sessions, and high-level engagements — including agendas, pre-reads, and minutes.
- Coordinate logistics for leadership retreats, town halls, and external events involving the CEO.
- Track action items and follow through on decisions made in meetings.
Executive Support & Confidentiality
- Handle confidential and commercially sensitive information with absolute discretion.
- Manage special projects and ad hoc requests, seeing them through to completion.
- Liaise with cross-functional teams and external partners on behalf of the CEO.
- Anticipate the CEO's needs and proactively resolve issues before they escalate.
What we're looking for
Experience
- 5 years in an Executive Assistant or senior administrative role, preferably supporting C-suite in a fast-paced, global corporate environment.
Communication
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to represent the CEO professionally in any interaction.
- Confident, articulate, and polished under pressure.
Discretion
- Demonstrated ability to handle confidential information with integrity.
- High personal standards and a professional presence at all times.
Organization & detail
- Obsessively organized with strong attention to detail.
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously without dropping the ball.
Tech proficiency
- Strong command of Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
- Comfortable with collaboration tools such as Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and SharePoint.
Proactivity & judgement
- Takes initiative without being prompted. Anticipates what is needed before being asked and uses sound judgement when making decisions independently.
